How to obtain a gaussian filter in python

Question

I am using python to create a gaussian filter of size 5x5. I saw this post here where they talk about a similar thing but I didn\'t find the exact way to get equivalent python c

Answer 1

here is to provide an nd-gaussian window generator:

def gen_gaussian_kernel(shape, mean, var):
    coors = [range(shape[d]) for d in range(len(shape))]
    k = np.zeros(shape=shape)
    cartesian_product = [[]]
    for coor in coors:
        cartesian_product = [x + [y] for x in cartesian_product for y in coor]
    for c in cartesian_product:
        s = 0
        for cc, m in zip(c,mean):
            s += (cc - m)**2
        k[tuple(c)] = np.exp(-s/(2*var))
    return k

this function will give you an unnormalized gaussian windows with given shape, center, and variance. for instance: gen_gaussian_kernel(shape=(3,3,3),mean=(1,1,1),var=1.0) output->
